when i first heard about the male loneliness epidemic i was like oh yeah close camaraderie and bonding between men is often discouraged in favor of competition or, if not discouraged, at least filtered through a lens of individualism that precludes deep connections. and then i learned what people meant by it (men arent getting laid) to which i say skill issue

to all the men out there not getting laid: try less hard to get laid and try more hard to be an enjoyable and relaxing presence

It's way more than a sex issue. Getting laid is easy, if you only care about getting your dick wet. Making and keeping friends, especially meaningful friendships, is getting harder and harder. Anyone who reduces it down to "lol who cares about incels not getting laid" is being bad faith dismissive about a massive problem.

Getting laid is easy

Sure, in your 20s, if that. Pray tell, kind sir, what is your secret?

Treat people as human beings and respect their boundaries, take care of your health and appearance, then suddenly you'll be drowning in pussy (or dick or both or neither whatever your preference)

Very funny. What's the real way?

They forgot to mention that you have to leave your house.

And go to the third places that either you can't afford or don't exist anymore. This shit reads like my grandparents giving me job seeking advice. Just walk in, give em a firm handshake, and you'll be married in a month lmao

My house? I can afford a house?

Pretty presumptuous of you to think most people can just afford a house like that.
